$TXT Created by DEVCRN.DOMAIN.EXT (KIDS) on Wednesday, 05/06/26 at 07:20 ============================================================================= Run Date: JUL 22, 2026 Designation: MPIF*1*81 Package : MPIF - MASTER PATIENT INDEX VISTA Priority: Mandatory Version : 1 SEQ #77 Status: Released Compliance Date: AUG 01, 2026 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)MPIF*1*79 <<= must be installed BEFORE `MPIF*1*81' Subject: MASTER VETERAN INDEX VISTA ENHANCEMENT - PREFERRED NAME Category: - Routine - Enhancement (Mandatory) Description: ============ NOTE: Master Patient Index (MPI) enhancements are being distributed in two VistA namespaces: DG and MPIF. Patches DG*5.3*1162 and MPIF*1.0*81 can be installed in any order as there are no direct dependencies between them requiring a specific install sequence. To prevent legacy systems ending up as Treating Facilities, MPIF* patches should NOT be installed on legacy systems or the FORUM CLAIMS system (since it is NOT a Veterans Affair Medical Center (VAMC) VistA system). MPIF*1.0*79 is the only required build for patch MPIF*1.0*81. NOTE: Do NOT install MPIF*1.0*81 on legacy sites or on the FORUM CLAIMS system. The following enhancement exported in this patch was requested by the Healthcare Identity Management (HC IdM) business office to allow Preferred Name to be added through the Register a Patient menu option when pulling in the patient's information using the enterprise search query. Enhancement To support the addition of Preferred Name on a new patient record that is created through the execution of the enterprise query search on the Register a Patient [DG REGISTER PATIENT] menu option related to patch DG*5.3*1162, the XML parser has been enhanced to now also extract the PREFERRED NAME value from the enterprise search query Extensible Markup Language (XML) / Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML) results. FRED In addition, the Preferred Name information will now also be displayed when requesting to view any patient record information in the list that were returned from the enterprise query search results for selection that have met the potential match criteria for addition to the PATIENT file (#2). EHRM Impact Statement: ---------------------- - This patch should have no EHRM impact, and can be installed at all sites, including EHRM converted sites.
